what was I thinking?
 

so I got a flu shot yesterday thinking well I really dont want that nasty flu and about 5 mins after the injection... my shoulder looks like popeye's and it hurts to high heaven, once again thinking damned if I do, damned if I dont :mad:

anyone else get the flu shot this year?

Dee

My husband got his about a month ago. No negative affects except a comment about the muscle at the injection site being sore. Went away after a day.

He is in remission which I'm sure is a factor.

Bless your heart Dee!

I am thinking real hard about getting one too and slightly freaking out about what might happen. Your right damn if we o damn if we dont.
Hope it feels better soon
Hugs

Hi Dee,
 

I got mine week before last but no long term effect. I consider myself in remission also. That might make a difference and I would have gotten some lidocaine injections to calm it down had it started up again.

Hope it calms down for you soon.

I got mine last month but told Dr. to use smallest needle possible.Just had soreness at injection site for 2 days then Ok.Fondly-Carol

I always ask for the flu shot in my fanny. No muscle to mess with, well they would have to go way, way, way down to get to muscle.

I've decided to forget about it this year.
hope tomorrow is better,
